♺ @con: Why You Should Stop Using !Ubuntu !Linux and Move Back to #Debian http://con.ca/news/3534
-
@filippobovo: Meh. Old news.
-
Or more like #Apple? ;) @filippobovo: #Ubuntu like a sort of little new #Microsoft?
-
@con Switching back to debian is great, but his reasons are based on conjecture, not facts.
-
@danborne i read that article. i figure ubuntu has it fans and debian also. no reason for infighting. we are linux addicts i reckon.
-
@seeds I understand what you mean; I just disagree with his reasoning.
-
@danborne yea i didn't like his reasoning at all
-
@filippobovo: That's a very valid point. Perhaps our goal, as users, is to simply work with the least of the evils? ;-)
-
@filippobovo, keep perspective: #Apple is much more insidious than both #Canonical & #Google . Google, in turn, much more so than Canonical.
-
@seeds, it's not a question of being a "Linux addict". It's a question of whether the distribution maker is dedicated to software freedom
-
@bkuhn yeah i totally respect that i prefer to live in software freedom but it just so happens i prefer debian at the same time :)
-
@con Ahahah that's possible, effectively... :P
-
@filippobovo, #Google is dangerous & getting worse,but they aren't as bad for software freedom as #Apple (yet). I agree #ChromeOS dangerous.
-
@bkuhn I think that some of the server backend of rPath is proprietary.

@j1mc, Troubling to hear that. I'll ask them about it. Does Foresight rely on it? I didn't think that it did; it just used packaging stuff?
